Hi all, This conversation about New Mexico birding reminded me about a list of favorite U.S. birding destinations compiled by Lab of O folks that used to link off one of the Lab websites (it was either All About Birds or the main Lab website; I can’t remember which). The link was labeled “Where to go birding” or something along those lines. Maybe it still exists, but I can’t seem to find it. The list was broken down by state and included Bosque del Apache NWR. I recall that Marie Read contributed that destination and mentioned photographing Sandhill Cranes there. This resource is also where I discovered another birding gem, Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Florida. I recall that Wesley Hochachka contributed that one.
Anyway, this was a wonderful resource for learning about birding hotspots throughout the country. Do any Lab of O folks know if this list is still available?

Before moving to western NY seven years ago, I lived in and birded New Mexico for some 30 years. Places to recommend depend greatly on what time of year you plan on going, and what parts of the state are of interest (it's a big state). Some spots like Bosque del Apache NWR, Bitter Lake NWR, and Rattlesnake Springs in Carlsbad Caverns NP are always good, as are numerous others. The 3rd edition of the NM Bird Finding Guide (2002) is available from the NM Ornithological Society. 4th edition should go to press this month. Feel free to contact me off-line if you wish.
